but on the seventh day there shall be a holy day for you ,
a Sabbath of solemn rest to Yahweh :

You shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations on the Sabbath day .'"

*
All the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses .
*
They came ,
everyone whose heart stirred him up ,
and everyone whom his spirit made willing ,
and brought Yahweh '
s offering ,
for the work of the Tent of Meeting ,
and for all of its service ,
and for the holy garments .
*
They came ,
both men and women ,
as many as were willing-hearted ,
and brought brooches ,
earrings ,
signet rings ,
and armlets ,
all jewels of gold ;
even every man who offered an offering of gold to Yahweh .
*
Everyone ,
with whom was found blue ,
purple ,
scarlet ,
fine linen ,
goats '
hair ,
rams '
skins dyed red ,
and sea cow hides ,
brought them .
*
Everyone who offered an offering of silver and brass brought Yahweh '
s offering ;
and everyone ,
with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service ,
brought it .
*
All the women who were wise-hearted spun with their hands ,
and brought that which they had spun ,
the blue ,
the purple ,
the scarlet ,
and the fine linen .
*
All the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats '
hair .
*
The rulers brought the onyx stones ,
and the stones to be set ,
for the ephod and for the breastplate ;
*
and the spice ,
and the oil for the light ,
for the anointing oil ,
and for the sweet incense .
*
The children of Israel brought a freewill offering to Yahweh ;
every man and woman ,
whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work ,
which Yahweh had commanded to be made by Moses .
*
Moses said to the children of Israel , "
Behold ,
Yahweh has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri ,
the son of Hur ,
of the tribe of Judah .
*
He has filled him with the Spirit of God ,
in wisdom ,
in understanding ,
in knowledge ,
and in all kinds of workmanship ;
*
and to make skillful works ,
to work in gold ,
in silver ,
in brass ,
*
in cutting of stones for setting ,
and in carving of wood ,
to work in all kinds of skillful workmanship .
*
He has put in his heart that he may teach ,
both he ,
and Oholiab ,
the son of Ahisamach ,
of the tribe of Dan .
*
He has filled them with wisdom of heart ,
to work all kinds of workmanship ,
of the engraver ,
of the skillful workman ,
and of the embroiderer ,
in blue ,
in purple ,
in scarlet ,
and in fine linen ,
and of the weaver ,
even of those who do any workmanship ,
and of those who make skillful works .
* "
Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man ,
in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary ,
according to all that Yahweh has commanded ."
*
Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab ,
and every wise-hearted man ,
in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom ,
even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it :
*
and they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary ,
with which to make it .
They brought yet to him freewill offerings every morning .
*
All the wise men ,
who performed all the work of the sanctuary ,
each came from his work which they did .
*
They spoke to Moses ,
saying , "
The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Yahweh commanded to make ."
*
Moses gave commandment ,
and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp ,
saying , "
Let neither man nor woman make anything else for the offering for the sanctuary ."
So the people were restrained from bringing .
*
For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it ,
and too much .
*
All the wise-hearted men among those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains ;
of fine twined linen ,
blue ,
purple ,

they made them .

they made finely worked garments ,
for ministering in the holy place ,
and made the holy garments for Aaron ;
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
He made the ephod of gold ,
blue ,
purple ,

and fine twined linen .
*
They beat the gold into thin plates ,
and cut it into wires ,
to work it in the blue ,
in the purple ,
in the scarlet ,
and in the fine linen ,
the work of the skillful workman .
*
They made shoulder straps for it ,
joined together .
At the two ends it was joined together .
*
The skillfully woven band that was on it ,
with which to fasten it on ,
was of the same piece ,
like its work ;
of gold ,
of blue ,
purple ,
scarlet ,
and fine twined linen ;
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
They worked the onyx stones ,
enclosed in settings of gold ,
engraved with the engravings of a signet ,
according to the names of the children of Israel .
*
He put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod ,

*
It was square .
They made the breastplate double .

*
The stones were according to the names of the children of Israel ,

like the engravings of a signet ,
everyone according to his name ,
for the twelve tribes .
*
They made on the breastplate chains like cords ,
of braided work of pure gold .
*
They made two settings of gold ,
and two gold rings ,

and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod ,
in its front .
*
They made two rings of gold ,
and put them on the two ends of the breastplate ,
on its edge ,
which was toward the side of the ephod inward .
*
They made two rings of gold ,
and put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath ,
in its front ,
close by its coupling ,
above the skillfully woven band of the ephod .
*
They bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue ,
that it might be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod ,
and that the breastplate might not come loose from the ephod ,
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
He made the robe of the ephod of woven work ,
all of blue .
*
The opening of the robe in its midst was like the opening of a coat of mail ,
with a binding around its opening ,
that it should not be torn .
*
They made on the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue ,
purple ,
scarlet ,
and twined linen .
*
They made bells of pure gold ,
and put the bells between the pomegranates around the skirts of the robe ,
between the pomegranates ;
*
a bell and a pomegranate ,
a bell and a pomegranate ,
around the skirts of the robe ,
to minister in ,
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
They made the coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron ,
and for his sons ,
*
and the turban of fine linen ,
and the linen headbands of fine linen ,
and the linen breeches of fine twined linen ,

and wrote on it a writing ,
like the engravings of a signet : "

*
They tied to it a lace of blue ,
to fasten it on the turban above ,
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting was finished .
The children of Israel did according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses ;
so they did .
*
They brought the tabernacle to Moses ,

with all its furniture ,

and the garments of his sons ,
to minister in the priest '
s office .
*
According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses ,
so the children of Israel did all the work .
*
Moses saw all the work ,
and behold ,
they had done it as Yahweh had commanded ,
even so had they done it :
and Moses blessed them .
*
Yahweh spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
* "
On the first day of the first month you shall raise up the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting .
*
You shall put the ark of the testimony in it ,
and you shall screen the ark with the veil .
*
You shall bring in the table ,
and set in order the things that are on it .
You shall bring in the lampstand ,
and light its lamps .
*
You shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony ,
and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle .
* "
You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting .
*
You shall set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar ,
and shall put water therein .
*
You shall set up the court around it ,
and hang up the screen of the gate of the court .
* "
You shall take the anointing oil ,
and anoint the tabernacle ,
and all that is in it ,
and shall make it holy ,
and all its furniture :
and it will be holy .
*
You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering ,
with all its vessels ,
and sanctify the altar :
and the altar will be most holy .
*
You shall anoint the basin and its base ,
and sanctify it .
* "
You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting ,
and shall wash them with water .
*
You shall put on Aaron the holy garments ;
and you shall anoint him ,
and sanctify him ,
that he may minister to me in the priest '
s office .
*
You shall bring his sons ,
and put coats on them .
*
You shall anoint them ,
as you anointed their father ,
that they may minister to me in the priest '
s office .
Their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations ."
*
Moses did so .
According to all that Yahweh commanded him ,
so he did .
*
It happened in the first month in the second year ,
on the first day of the month ,
that the tabernacle was raised up .
*
Moses raised up the tabernacle ,
and laid its sockets ,
and set up its boards ,
and put in its bars ,
and raised up its pillars .
*
He spread the covering over the tent ,
and put the roof of the tabernacle above on it ,
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
He took and put the testimony into the ark ,
and set the poles on the ark ,
and put the mercy seat above on the ark .
*
He brought the ark into the tabernacle ,
and set up the veil of the screen ,
and screened the ark of the testimony ,
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
He put the table in the Tent of Meeting ,
on the side of the tabernacle northward ,
outside of the veil .
*
He set the bread in order on it before Yahweh ,
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
He put the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting ,
opposite the table ,
on the side of the tabernacle southward .
*
He lit the lamps before Yahweh ,
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
He put the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting before the veil ;
*
and he burnt incense of sweet spices on it ,
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
He put up the screen of the door to the tabernacle .
*
He set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting ,
and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering ,
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
He set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar ,
and put water therein ,
with which to wash .
*
Moses ,
Aaron ,
and his sons washed their hands and their feet there .
*
When they went into the Tent of Meeting ,
and when they came near to the altar ,
they washed ,
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
He raised up the court around the tabernacle and the altar ,
and set up the screen of the gate of the court .
So Moses finished the work .
*
Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting ,
and the glory of Yahweh filled the tabernacle .
*
Moses wasn '
t able to enter into the Tent of Meeting ,
because the cloud stayed on it ,
and Yahweh '
s glory filled the tabernacle .
*
When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle ,
the children of Israel went onward ,
throughout all their journeys ;
*
but if the cloud wasn '
t taken up ,
then they didn '
t travel until the day that it was taken up .
*
For the cloud of Yahweh was on the tabernacle by day ,
and there was fire in the cloud by night ,
in the sight of all the house of Israel ,
throughout all their journeys .
*
for the precious things of the earth and its fullness ,
the good will of him who lived in the bush {
i .
e .
the burning bush of Exodus strkjv @
3:3-4 .}.
